comment Differentiate between exact date and date period (e.g., month vs. month of year)
Thanks. I used the terms specific and aggregate by to group these, but I kept the long form with "of" (e.g., "Day of the week", "Month of the year") for all the aggregates to make it even more clear.

comment Best Method for Adding Ingredients
Definitely. Enforce the rule about having at least one ingredient when the user attempts to submit the form, not by limiting which list items can be deleted. If all of the list items are removed, automatically create a new empty row.

Allow deleting the first ingredient (other ingredients should slide up). Isn't it just as likely that the first ingredient could be a mistake as the second or third?

comment Differentiate between exact date and date period (e.g., month vs. month of year)
At least for my situation, this is confusing because the user already selects a date range in addition to the grouping, and the date range has nothing to do with the grouping (e.g., Dataset: Sales, Grouping: By Location, Date Range: 01/12/2013 - 02/12/2013). Sorry I didn't show this in the first mockup.

comment Best Method for Adding Ingredients
@Muhambi If you remove the "Other" type (free text field), make sure the Quantity and Unit columns are optional! I definitely have a use for ingredients without a measurement (e.g., "black pepper to taste", "enough milk to loosen the sauce", "lime wedges for serving"). I also disagree about the ordering suggestion -- there is definitely a natural order here: All recipes I've seen (online or in print) always lists the quantity (if any) before the ingredient name. I also disagree about groupings -- this is very helpful for complex recipes and is commonly used (esp. when writing the directions)

comment Is a captcha necessary when email validation is being utilised?
Well can spammers get e-mail? :-) Can a script that's smart enough to find your site and fill out its registration form check an e-mail inbox (or a web-based mailbox like guerrillamail.com) and open a link? I would suggest that e-mail verification is insufficient.

@Salman Imagine 2 years of data. Month of the year would have one "January" group equal to the sum/average of data from Jan 2012 and Jan 2013. Month would have these two months displayed separately (a group for "January 2012" and another group for "January 2013").

comment How can I best design a retail store bill to communicate special offers?
Are you asking about how to advertise the offer on bills in general (e.g., how to promote this), or how to reflect the free/discounted product on a specific bill after the customer takes advantage of the promotion (e.g., what the bill line items should say)?
